A portion of the Brick Barrel Sewer in Maida
Hill West, opposite the house No. 2, has been taken
up, and 12" stoneware pipes laid in lieu thereof, at a
lower level, to improve the drainage of the said
premises, at the expense of the owner thereof.
In consequence of complaints received from the
Engineer of the Metropolitan Railway, respecting a
leakage of sewage through a portion of the retaining
wall on the South side of Queens Road Station, adjoining
Poplar Place, the brick and pipe sewer abutting
on the wall being defective, it was taken up, and 15"
stoneware pipes laid in lieu thereof, at the expense of
the Vestry.
About sixty feet of pipe sewer in Porchester
Square Mews being defective, new pipes were substituted,
at the cost of the Vestry.
Four hundred and sixty distinct Works, relative
to the repair of sewers and gulleys, laying pipe drains
and fixing traps, have been executed by the Vestry's
Contractor, at a cost of £2,429 3s. Od. This sum
includes £846 6s. Od. received from various persons
for laying drain pipes under the public footways and
roadways in connection with house drains, fixing traps
in sewers at outlets of drains, and constructing gulleys
in old and new streets. In addition to the above
Works, ninety-eight examinations of house drains were
made from sewers as to stoppages in them, and whether
trapped at their outlets, at a cost to the applicants of
£19 12s. Od.
